San Bernardino Divorce Lawyer

In today’s society, more and more spouses are facing the legal issue of divorce. Divorce in legal terms is considered the final and legal termination of a marriage, often times referred to as “dissolution of marriage”.  Stress due to money issues, infidelity, or one’s religion may over time lead a person to consider or file for divorce. In California, either spouse has the right to file for divorce, either on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, or incurable insanity. In addition to legally filing for divorce, both parties must meet certain divorce residency requirements. These requirements state that both spouses reside in California for a minimum of 6 months, and have been residents of their county for no less than 3 months.

If you are considering filing for divorce, or have been served with divorce papers, it would be beneficial to you and the outcome of your divorce case to consult with a professional family law attorney. A lawyer with strong legal experience handling complex divorce issues in California will make sure that you have a clear understanding of the divorce process and will ensure that your legal rights are fully protected.

Experienced Child Support and Custody Attorney

In order to avoid a lengthy trial, both parties in a divorce must also come to a mutual understanding and agreement of the terms of their divorce. These terms can involve child custody, child support, spousal support or alimony, and property division. If both spouses are able to reach an agreement, the divorce will be considered uncontested and can typically be finalized after a zero to 6 month waiting period. If both spouses are unable to come to a mutual understanding and agreement, the divorce will be considered a contested divorce and will go to court. A judge will then determine the final legal decisions and agreement for both parties before granting a divorce.  Due to its complexities, a contested divorce will typically take 6 months or more to finalize in order to legally dissolve the marriage.
